Expectations and reality

We all start a new investment plan with great hope an enthusiasm which later on fizzles out as things don't turn out as expected. There should be no surprise when we get to know that reality does not meet up to expectations. It is the way of life. The learning should be to avoid unrealistic expectations.

Never the twain shall meet

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." - Rudyard Kipling

Similarly when it comes to our financial lives expectations and reality, never the twain shall meet.
